Oh, fandom.

I remember being so stoked when I first got into DBSK, because the fandom was so friendly and there didn't seem to be a lot of wank. Okay, so call me naive, but the place really did seem awesome when I was first introduced

i loved dbsk from the bottom of my heart--still do, really. reading this brought back a sickening reality that i've been trying not to face: the fact that the boys have moved on. reading your thoughts made me nervous. thinking of the split makes me nervous. i really love the boys, and agree that they lack something when splintered.

for a long time, i avoided news about dbsk altogether, especially when the lawsuit had just started, so i only know about homin's fathers and the matsuura issue very vaguely. you're right, it's a big "he-said she-said" situation. all sides involved have a different take on things and a different way of reacting and explaining. there's really no impartial side. the only way anybody can take a decent view on this is by listening to everyone and forming their own view, which just adds another facet to the problem. it is like a mystery novel. nobody really know what's going on.

i'm trying to be gracious and accepting of what the boys want right now. they're human, just like us. they'll grow and change in ways that can neither be predicted nor consistently positive, just like us. they made promises they wanted to keep, but this situation has made it impossible. i believe wanting to keep those promises counts for something. they said those things and they meant them, but things change. people change. they've changed.

they're still lovable individuals with big, bright futures in entertainment--just older and probably a little bit more wary.

do i think dbsk will be back together one day? i honestly can't predict what's going to happen, nor do i feel comfortable trying. i certainly hope they'll resolve things and maybe pal around for old times--for cassiopeia's sake, too. but that point doesn't seem like it's anywhere in the near future at the moment.

i'm starting to get into other kpop groups, but nobody will ever hold my heart or charm me more than these boys have. it's really sad. nothing is quite as fulfilling, and i don't think anything ever will be.
